When I try to search or install without doing an 'apt-get update' first it complains with the following messages:
W: Couldn't stat source package list ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[...]
Why would it complain about source package lists when thay are not specified in sources.list? I was under the impression that apt is supposed to remember the result of last update operation..
The 'source package list' message of apt* does not correlate with deb-src entries in sources.list.
